Please don’t say ‘they’. Say ‘Trump’. Most of us don’t want this either…. Most of us understand how stupid this and do not understand the thought process of this dictator that somehow got back into office over here. He is embarrassing, uneducated and will hurt our country with his ridiculous rhetoric, lack of vocabulary and bullying tactics with our allies. It is inconceivable for many of us. I appreciate your every word. I wish you weee our president. Please know ‘We the people’ on both sides of the border are going to hurt from Trump’s stupid unfathomable decisions. I hope you can look through and see past the people here or not on the side of the decisions being made and know that once Trump is out Office, we can establish our ties with you and continue with the friendship we’ve had for so long and create agreements to profit both countries and caused the least of services in the most stability for each other. It’s a shame for what is happening and completely unnecessary.

I wish this was my president instead

He speaks so eloquently , just wish he was our President.

As a foreigner myself , It’s actually a pleasure listening to a political leader and actually believing what he is saying \nWell done President Trudeau \nI wish my country politicians have that professionalism level

As an American…I wish this man was our President! ?

I wish we had a president like Trudeau.

Damn, wish Trudeau was our president instead of the idiot we have in the US.

The majority of the American people are with you Canada, we didn't want this either. This doesn't have anything to do with drugs. The problem we have is President Shit-for-Brains doesn't understand that tariffs are a mistake because he's a moron who also appears to be a Russian asset, always doing Russia's will regardless of how it will effect the USA.\n\nTrudeau knows how to be a leader. I wish he were OUR president.

Wish we could trade our terrible US President for the principled Canadian President, but we'd have to give a lot of concessions for a fair trade.

I wish we could have a President like Trudeau here in the USA fighting for his people.

Canada and Mexico have always been family, as well as UK and Europe close friends and allies. Trump is by far the daftest president in the history of our nation, he’s destroying our economy and the well-being of the American people. All he’s doing is making the rich richer and getting rid of the middle class making families struggle. \n\nSo much for the equality and prosperity of our country. \n\nI really wish President Zelenskyy would not sign over any mineral l rights to the Ukraine. I felt embarrassed and completely appalled as an American for the treatment that he received. \n\nThe duped people who voted for Trump are now getting what they deserve. This presidency is not America first. \nThis presidency is about Trump and his friends changing all the laws for their own benefit lining their pockets.

I wish there was a way to undo DT’s election as president

I love this man.... I wish he was America's president!!!!

Man I wish we had a president like that in America!

Trudeau I wish you were our president instead of the dumb sh*t head that we have! You made an agreement with Trump then he turns and stabs you in the back. That is what he planned to do to Ukraine. The drugs are made in the USA and sold all over . We know this how ever Republikkkans have to have someone to blame other than their own children that are buying and using the drugs.

I'm with you Canada. Tell Donald Duck what is happening! I applaud you Prime Minister Trudeau, I wish the U.S. so called president was half as smart as you.

Love you President Trudeau. I wish you were not leaving. Canada and the rest of the world need people like you to overcome the destruction of America. We in New Zealand need people just like you to stand up to Trump and his criminal republicans. Please re-think about leaving.

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

I wish he was America’s President!!

I wish this man was the American president. My American government is scaring me and our lives are falling apart. I stand with Canada and the rest of the sane world. I hope this changes soon..

Really wish we had a president instead of a Russian asset.

I wish he were my president. As an American, I’m scared. Last time I felt like this was 9/11. It’s a different fear but it’s growing daily. The big orange one does nothing but instill fear and anger. I miss a president that speaks to the people, gives them hope and encouragement. Hurts my heart

It’s deeply embarrassing that the only way to make sure the President listens is to address him by name in a speech. I wish I’d been born in Canada

I wish our president Trump has an speech like this not like my coworkers in the bar at Friday night beer

Wish we, the USA had Justin Trudeau as President!!!

I wish our president spoke this well…

American here, wish I could be proud of my president but he is disgraceful. Do what you need to make Trump go away.

Native Floridian in the US here sending big hugs out to Canadians and Prime Minister Trudeau, Ukraine and President Zelenskyy, and Mexico and La Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum❣️ I wish my one vote and activism had been enough to stop the re-election of such a horrid, arrogant individual back into our WH. It all makes sense if he is aligning us with Russia

Whow, you know what it means in non canadian level? Its like he burns Trump photo in live TV.\nNow for distancing yourself more Canada from your crazy neigbor in the south: fight inequality in your country and poverty and choose indegenouse woman for your next president.\nBest wishes

I'll still buy your products! I wish we had a leader who could speak like an intelligent adult. Bravo, President Trudeau!

Well said Prime Minister Trudeau. Wish the US President had a brain and could understand your sensible, honest words. I am American. Our President and Vice President have been bought by Putin and Musk. I am ashamed.

Lifetime Republican here - until the afternoon of Jan 6, 2021that is. I'm also a disabled US vetaran. I wish our president had any of the strong leadership qualities that Trudeau has. Instead we cose to elect a traitorous grifter intoxicated with power who habitually spews lies that his cult members gobble up like candy. The 2020 election was stolen..yep yep yep, the dictator Zelenskyy started the invasion...yep yep...wait what? Wake Up America!

Sure wish the US republicans president could speak intelligently like Trudeau. Donald is selling out the US!

I wish he was our president

I think I might need to move he is a good Prime Minister I wish he wasn’t leaving the position. This s what a leader looks like instead of that clown we have for a president .

We live in America /hate America and would rather be somewhere else..preferably Scotland.I wish that this guy was our President.

American here. Wish my president could give such a professional speech like this. No name calling. No lies. No blaming others.

We know president Chump is a very stupid person and his best friend muck or lying and stealing our money and do all there doing for the millionaires and they don’t care how where are doing. So Canada and Mexico do what you have to do and maybe we can throw him out of office. Best wishes

3:46 Wish Trudeau was our President. He has a plan and speaks clear and well spoken. We pray for you and your people. We have a man that doesn't really care about our country.

Love Trudeau I wish he was our President

Wish we had a president as eloquent as Trudeau… why are we stuck with this orange clown… America deserves better ..

As an American...I wish we had PM Trudeau as our President

I wish Trudeau was our president. He doesn't lie, cheat, or hurt HIS country. I am also sad that Trudeau will soon not be the Prime Minister of Canada.

man, dont you wish we had a president like Trudeau.

Wow wish he was our President !

I wish we had you for our president instead of the idiot we have

I wish we had leaders who led like this. Would a kind Canadian come kidnap me please? You don't have to keep me, but please get me out of here. ?\n\nIn all seriousness, I'm ashamed of my president AND my country. I'm thankful, tho, for those who are willing to stand up to the wannabe king. Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine - we're sorry and we're rooting for you!

I promise we didn’t choose this either ?‍♀️!! We love and support our neighbors to the North and South no mater what our government is trying to make us believe!! We wish all Canadians and Mexicans the best and will continue to support you despite our president!! Much❤️ from Colorado

I wish he was our president

Now there is a REAL president. Trudeau is a REAL leader, I wish he were ours. He's a smart and good man. I can't say that about ours.
